        I thought you meant they did it Rubbermaid once. As in Rubbermaid didn’t let them do that again.

          As in, “once, because it basically bankrupted Rubbermaid”.

          They played those games with everyone, like Clorox, book and magazine companies, General Mills, etc. But most towns have a Walmart and don’t have a lot of other options, so if you want sales you play ball with the Waltons :(

          From the sound of things in that documentary Rubbermaid got bent over on that deal and was almost bankrupted by it so I imagine it’s been an ongoing thing.
